I've been at this for a while and have yet to find a valid solution. I know now that DLNA might as well not exist and I've been using a subsonic server with the subsonic app on the market to stream movies and such from my PC to my phone. This works great except it can only be done at my home (not at all over the mobile network). My question is are any of you streaming from PC to phone, then to TV via HDMI? Or streaming at all to phone over mobile network? If so please post what you are using because this feature is basically why I got the phone. In a side note I'm not an amateur with android phones and I have gingerblur running. I figure this question is a longshot and I expect only something like a Cyanogen mod or a future update of gingerblur will make this all possible. Any input is much appreciated.
Hey guys i was wondering what is the best app out there that will allow me to stream my movies and tv shows from my nas to my tab while im away from home. I know how to do port forwarding just cant find a app that will stream the media
Plex works really well! It converts on the fly if you have a PC next to your nas. Quality on your LAN is great! Quality on the WAN is so so but it works!
Thanks for the reply i have plex installed but it doesnt work outside of my home network on my tab. It works fine on my phone but not on my tab ( my tab is tethered to my phone to access the internet when im not home)
TVersity allows you to stream outside of your network. Quality is much better than on Orb or some of the others.

I don't use an app. usually. I do it straight from the browser. You can enter an http address and pull up files or a flash file.
Alternatives are Vplayer, the Toshiba Media Player app available on XDA (works the best actually) and um..... one other one I forget. You just install TVersity on your PC and let it scan wherever your media is installed. Whether it be on your puter or an external.
I use J.River Media Center, the app is called "Gizmo" (just search in the market).
I'm able to control all my music in different rooms, workplace etc over the pad. Or stream it to the pad itself.

I use Plex over 3G on my Wi-Fi Tab tethered to my phone. I'm tethering via Wi-Fi, not USB. I have to store the remote IP address for the server Plex is running on in order for the app on the Tab to find it.
yeah i have my remote ip address saved and im teathered via wireless as well and i dont get a connection. My phone has the same remote ip address as well and it connects just fine. Ive also tried connecting to my vpn teathered and that doesnt work either, but my phone can connect without any problems
I have a QNAP 212 NAS and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Tried Tversity/uPnP and the rest but all I got was jerky playback over wifi.
Solution was long winded but now I can stream anything stutter free
1. Map NAS drives to PC (Windows 7 cannot index NAS so use this workaround)

2. Install Qloud
3. Stream at 2048mbps
4. Funmouth
thanks for the reply works like a charm
no worries
Is it possible to transfer the video (like Netflix) from the SGS3 to a laptop (Asus G74S) to watch it on the bigger screen? I don't have access to a TV most. of the time but I have mylaptop.
I couldn't find an answer on Google or search but I'm trying to research on my phone.

A bit confused on what your trying to do... You can just go to netflix on your computer and watch it.
If the problem is that you don't have internet on your laptop, you can use one of quite a few different tethering apps. That way you can use your cell phone's internet on your laptop.
As for any video that you have on your phone itself, you can plug it in and transfer the files. Or if you don't have a wire you can use bluetooth or adhoc network to transfer the files.
Unfortunately Verizon charges for tethering. On grandfathered on data and don't want to change it. I want it mostly for Netflix but I am a truck driver and stable internet is often hard to find, even on a lot of pay services.

I'm trying to stream video from PC to my Rezound using the app Emit. Emit will stream on wifi but when I turn 4G on Emit does not work. Anyone know how to fix this or a better app you to use? Just trying to figure out the easiest way to steam from pc to android over 4g and wifi?
You would have to have some sort of server software on the PC to be able to access outside of your home network.
AW: [Q] Streaming from PC to Android, what app to use?
As you got a public ip if using mobile connection, you need software that offers your music in some way. I recommend using ampache for this. Its free, has lots of apps etc. In wifi you can easily just mount your shared folders using mountmanager. After mounting you can usr every android player to create and listen to you music library

Hello.
Can I get more out of my devices by connecting them together by WiFi?
The TV is a 60inch Sharp LC-60.
The Aquos Net+ has WiFi and is able to connect to a PC using a home server option.
Can I not just connect my phone to my TV using WiFi?
Not sure if this helps but the Z2 supports miracast. If you TV supports miracast then you can mirror your phone to your TV.
you can, I'm using this everyday. Well you can if your TV supports DLNA.
I'm casting almost everything from my phone to the TV with the app AllCast.
Also, if you have a Chromecast you can cast youtube and spotify from your phone.

And it works great!!!
